The Diary of Anne Frank was one of the most anguished and powerful personal documents of the Second World war. Less known are the stories, fables and essays that Anne Frank kept in a separate journal. Brought together in this volume, they were written as she hid with her family in Amsterdam before she was sent to her death. In them she allowed her imagination to run free as her body could not and their subtlety, freshness and heartbreaking wisdom are a terrible reminder of what she might have given the world if she had been allowed to live.
